This is Rami, my 2.5 yr old TX Heeler (3/4 cattle dog, 1/4 aussie). She is my first agility dog and a blast to run with! We just completed our 1st yr in agility in Aug. 2013. We've titled in NADAC, AKC, and ASCA (picture was from Memorial Day 2013, Q in 10 of 16 classes, High in Trial Non-Aussie 1 day). We ran Pre-trial at this years Champs and had a blast even though I found out she was sore and therefore would not weave. Definitely plan to make the 2015 Champs when it's back in the eastern half of the US. Plans now are pretty much doing mostly NADAC with a few CPE and AKC in there. The distance handling to me is more impressive than my dog having to jump higher. Hope to see and meet more people at trials. Going to try and hit some new clubs this year.

The first photo is Terra from one of our first visits to Championships in WY...she ended up getting sick, which was awful, but I got the best photo of her ever. She's retired from agility, but I think she misses it terribly!

Second photo is Cruise. I need to get back into NADAC with him, should build his speed but he still thinks weave poles aren't fun.

Third photo is Rico. He will be bringing me to Championships again one day What a fun guy!

I'm glad someone restarted this thread, because it made me realize I forgot to share pictures of my furkids...

Here is a rare photo of all three of them, at Convict Lake, CA (when we attended the wonderful Eastern Sierras Agility Group's trial in august 2013).

I'm an agility, obedience, and tracking competitor from southwestern Indiana. I'm lucky enough to still have my first dog and original agility competitor, Buddy Holly, who is now 13 and retired from AKC agility last year. I also have Tucker, my enormous red BC, and his polar opposite Gin who is just turning 10 months old and might jump 16"!! I've also trained two detection K9's- Gin's uncle Stryker, who we tragically last May to a vaccine reaction, and Dutch Shepherd Osie (pronounced O.C.). After 14 years of Border Collies, I am in love with the Dutch Shepherd and have likely found my lifetime breed!
